Question: support for PouchDB?

[janl]

We have a few projects where we make use of PouchDB’s different adapters (level and http in our case) to run software in different environments. We also use couchdb-bootstrap, which doesn’t work with PouchDB instances itself, but only a CouchDB server.

In theory, would this project (and the sub-projects it is built from) accept a set of PRs that add support for PouchDB instances instead of just URLs that are passed to nano?

A first implementation could do if/else switches at the various places where they are needed, but one could argue that once you use PouchDB and since it can use a CouchDB URL using the http adapter, wouldn’t it make sense to just stop using nano here. This question doesn’t ask to do the full replacement, just additional support for bootstrapping a PouchDB instance, but a wholesale transition might be less effort.

It’d be totally fine to say “no, out of scope” :)

Hi Jan,

I like the idea of supporting a PouchDB adapter and would happily accept a pull request for this. Also, I agree that using PouchDB instead of Nano here would make absolutely sense. We would need to carefully communicate such breaking change here, though.

Another thing is that I wanted to transition to a mono repo approach since long time - if you're at it and if it would make things for you easier, I'd also accept a pull for this ;)

That all sounds great, I'll report back once there is progress :)
